Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 527 Harvesting the Dao Fruit
Lin Jing carefully stored away the Dark Immortal Source and left the cave.

He first descended into the depths of the Immortal Prison.

There are three people deep inside this celestial prison.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor, disheveled and no longer recognizable as a human, was now a mess.

A zombie emperor with the appearance of a zombie at the age of a teenager.

The Netherworld Lord, the Skeleton Emperor, whose entire body is made of bones.

These three powerful figures of the demonic path were currently bound in mid-air by the Immortal-Locking Chains, their consciousness completely gone.

Lin Jing walked up to the Corpse Emperor and shook his head.

This Corpse Emperor was originally defeated by the Demon Emperor and forced to undergo corpse disintegration and reincarnation. Fortunately, he was discovered by the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor and joined his ranks early on, returning to the Daoist path as quickly as possible.

However, after the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven was killed by the Demon Emperor of Heavenly Hatred, these demonic sects lost their backers and were soon wiped out by the Demon Court and besieged by the Heavenly Yuan Daoist Alliance.

These Heavenly Origin Daoists, strengthened by immortal energy, are hardly a match for the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, but they are more than capable of dealing with the three great demons of the past.

At Lin Jing's request, these demons were sent by the Demon Emperor one by one to Lin Jing's Immortal Prison Mountain.

The reason Lin Jing wanted them was simple: he just wanted to harvest their Dao Fruits.

"A total of six Dao Fruits."

The Ice Soul Gu offered up its Dao Fruit, with an expression that said, "You've worked so hard."

"Well done," Lin Jing praised.

Of the six Dao Fruits, four came from the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven.

Two came from the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor.

The four stones of the Demon Ancestor represent the Demon Ancestor's experience in soul refining, Gu refining, alchemy, and weapon crafting.

Compared to the difficulty of extracting a living body to refine the secret technique the first time, the Ice Soul Gu's supernatural abilities became more and more proficient, and the speed also increased significantly.

This is also related to the fact that Lin Jing, in order to save time, gave it even more precious immortal energy to activate the Dao Fruit Technique.

Aside from his research on the synthesis of demonic arts by the Demon Ancestor of the Heavenly Refining Sect, he was also an outstanding alchemy master and weapon crafting master. In terms of alchemy skills, with the added advantage of his immortal body, he was definitely no less skilled than the Tower Master of the Heavenly Tower.

Later on, he simply didn't put more effort into the orthodox path of alchemy and artifact crafting.

Lin Jing also had the Ice Soul Gu extract his alchemy skills, intending to give them to Long Li for reference and learning. Only in this way could Long Li unleash more of the Flame Emperor's divine power...

The Soul Refining Secret Technique is naturally still the one used by the Leaf Rat. Combined with the Living Body Synthesis Technique, it can make the synthesis of life even more perfect.

As for the secret art of refining Gu, the Gu refining of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor is more like the refining of poison. Gu is just a carrier of poison. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor is not very interested in the Dao of Alchemy, but he is extremely interested in the Dao of Poison derived from the Dao of Alchemy.

This one naturally belongs to the Ice Soul Gu, and it's its turn now.

As for the skills of controlling corpses and spirits extracted from the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor, Lin Jing was too lazy to care about them.

The plan is to give it directly to Gu Qianqiu. This Changsheng woman has also switched to cultivating the Beast Taming Technique. Of course, it is the Beast Taming Technique improved by Lin Jing. Currently, she does not have a contracted pet beast. With the cultivation of corpse and spirit control at the Dao Seeking Realm, Lin Jing can find a few corpses and souls for her to contract. The strength should be much higher than that of a normally contracted pet beast.

Most importantly, normal pets have very short lifespans. If they stay with these long-lived beings, it's easy for them to die first. But by having Gu Qianqiu contract with corpses and souls, this concern is eliminated. "Should we squeeze them even more dry..." Lin Jing looked at the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor and then said to the Ice Soul Gu, "Continue and see if you can extract the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor's spatial abilities."

"Although the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven did not specialize in the Dao of Space, he had after all gone through the Void Profound stage. His understanding of space, while not as valuable as his Dao of Refining, was still far superior to ours."

"Ah?" The Ice Soul Gu's body went limp.

We still have work to do.

It had used up all its strength to harvest these six Dao Fruits.

"Waaah..." Ice Soul Gu whimpered with tears in its eyes.

"Tired already?" Lin Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, if you're tired, just rest. I don't really want to comprehend the spatial Dao of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor."

The Ice Soul Gu immediately jumped up.

real or fake.

"It's alright. The reason I let you pick the spatial Dao Fruit last was because it was optional. Since you're tired, then rest well." Lin Jing stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Then, are we not going to cultivate the Dao of Space anymore?" Ice Soul Gu asked, its large, icy eyes wide open.

“Cultivation is possible, but there are many ways to do it. Dao Fruit Techniques are just a means to help us understand a certain field. When you absorb Dao Fruits, don’t forget not to accept them all without question.”

"That's just someone else's path."

“If we learn everything from them, our upper limit will only be that of them. If the source of our Dao Fruit is not proficient in magic, it can easily lead us astray, since we can’t distinguish whether their magical experience is right or wrong.”

"The Dao of Refinement is one thing, after all, he has the Heavenly Immortal Body, but as for the Dao of Space, who knows if he comprehended it correctly?" Lin Jing muttered.

"For example, the pine leaf rat absorbed the experience of living body synthesis and soul synthesis only to upgrade the Glazed Immortal Eyes, not to inherit the old path of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor."

"The same applies to the Dao of Space. In fact, besides learning from the insights of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor on the Dao of Space, we might be able to comprehend it more profoundly by using this, although the speed of comprehension might be slower." Lin Jing took out a piece of spatial flying leaf, and the Ice Soul Gu immediately realized the truth.

"With the current abilities of the Pine Leaf Rat, by consuming immortal energy, it can even synthesize flying leaves to the 'quasi-immortal grade'. Moreover, the spatial teleportation effect brought by the spatial flying leaves cannot even be restrained by the Immortal Locking Chains of the Fur Ball Immortal. After all, this is a derivative of the 'Immortal King's Divine Power', which contains the Immortal King's understanding of space."

"However, this is not essentially the pine leaf rat's own spatial perception, but rather the result of external force. But isn't the Dao Fruit also an external force? We can also try to use these spatial flying leaves to comprehend spatial techniques. If one day we can achieve a similar effect of spatial teleportation without the spatial flying leaves, then our perception of space will definitely be more perfect than that of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor."

After Lin Jing finished speaking, he waved his hand, took the Dao Fruit, and left the Immortal Prison. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Senior Divine Pine:

“Senior Shensong, I’ve used up the body of the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven.”

"If you have time, you can give him some time to recuperate, and then you can try to possess him."

"As for the bodies of the Skeleton Emperor and the Corpse Emperor, you can use them as fertilizer."

"You little brat!" Shen Song cursed upon hearing Lin Jing's voice. The mention of fertilizer reminded it of the clump of immortal dung that Lin Jing had given it as a gift.

Is this something a human can do?
However, the nutrients left by the decomposition of the Skeleton Emperor and the Corpse Emperor are indeed of great benefit to it.

"I won't thank you. Once I obtain the Celestial Body Refining technique, just let me know if you need any help."

"Once I've finished possessing a body, my strength in Tianyuan will be close to the strongest, if not the strongest, hehehehehehehe."
